Clockwork Watch

Clockwork Watch

"Technological and social change is in the air - human-clockwork hybridisation is the talk of the town; the unwise employment of science has led to amazement and outcry."

Clockwork Watch is a collaborative storytelling project set in a retro-futurist vision of Victorian England. It's a five-year immersive participatory story told through graphic novels, interactive promenade theatre, freeform role-play, online adventures, an interactive book, and a feature film.

The story set is in a genre called Steampunk, a non-colonial style of Victoriana, at a time when clockwork mechanics and science are the two most important developments in the world.

Our online storyworld (www.clockworkwatch.com) hosts updates from the Clockwork Watch universe. We invite participants to interact with news by contributing, photographs, videos, letters, even drawings showing how developments affect their characters, living in the Clockwork World.

Our Production Blog (www.clockworkwatch.org) lifts the lid on the making of Clockwork Watch, including press mentions, activities, and background."
